Hell, SpaceX wasn't a trending topic on twitter less than 2 hours after the landing.

Humanity holds the record for the fastest awe to yawn delta.

I'm sure aliens appreciated the effort longer.

Twitter does not represent humanity. Far from it.

Right, most people have seen this trick performed with a broom handle or maybe even done it themselves. This is the same trick done from edge of space to sea level with a much smaller margin for error and a gravity well.

To me it's fucking awesome. To everyone else it's just a large broomstick.
